moment. and violent storms overnight that killed two in the south. what's ahead for your weekend? sam is tracking all of that. and a breakthrough in the baffling case of a missing louisiana coed, mickey shunick. police have made an arrest. we'll tell you what led them to the suspect. we're going to turn to the latest terror scare in london, just three weeks before the olympics are set to begin there. 7 people arrested this morning, bringing to 13, the total in the last 2 days. let's go to jeffrey kofman live in london with the latest. good morning, jeffrey. >> reporter: good morning to you, josh. this is what we know. police impounded a vehicle on a highway north of london, suspecting the driver didn't have insurance. when they searched it, they found firearms inside. in what is becoming almost a daily occurrence here in

england. the seven arrested this morning followed the six yesterday. they now know who it was that police were after when they knocked on this london house in an early-morning raid thursday. three brothers were arrested. and elsewhere, three others. one of them, a former bbc security guard. >> no longer will be muslims remain silent. >> reporter: and rails against britain's royals and military. another suspect, jahangir halon. >> police say they will act earlier on in a plot. >> reporter: which explains that bus pulled over yesterday on a road to london. turns out the smoke led to s.w.a.t. teams and hazmat suits were a false alarm. the passenger was smoking an electric cigarette.

security is already here. in the sky, on the water. mock emergencies on dry land. at this time last year, that british warship was on duty off the coast of libya. this month, it will be on olympic duty. part of the largest peacetime deployment in britain ever. >> there are men, equipment here, ready to protect them if any threat should arise. >> reporter: olympics are a security headache for any host city. the challenge in this huge international capital, where the streets and the subways are always crowded, may be the biggest so far. and don't be surprised, josh, to hear about a lot more arrests as the games approach. >> jeffrey kofman, in london. we appreciate you reporting. now, to the violent storms over the south overnight. killing two campers in the great smoky mountains national park. the rest of the country is battling the blistering heat. our extreme weather team is covering all of the angles.

let's begin with sam champion. >> good morning, amy. good morning, josh. our wave of weather continues. 475 storm reports, coming from those record temperatures. the amazing heat. this, by the way, each one of those dots represented one community that had damage from the winds, the hail, the lightning that came from these strong to severe storms. we found that the heat has been deadly. and the storms that come from them are deadly, as well. a series of violent thunderstorms slammed into eastern tennessee thursday, leaving a path of death and direction. two people are confirmed dead in the great smoky mountains national park. one woman died after being struck by a falling tree. and a man on a motorcycle was killed when he wiped out on a park trail. >> our first priority is safely getting our crews into those locations where they can assess

the injuries, treat and evacuate folks. >> reporter: nearly 60,000 people are without power in the storm zone. downed trees and debris damaged electric lines. winds so strong, they ripped a roof right off a building. >> first, it took the metal roof. then, it took the wooden roof. i come from the mississippi delta. we're used to tornadoes. but this was real freaky. >> reporter: officials say it could be days before power is fully restored. look at the damage. uprooted trees, on houses, blocking driveways, stranding residents. look how powerful the winds were at this minor league baseball park. rain pours at grounds keepers tried desperately to cover the field. it is difficult to say what part of this is more dangerous. if it's the continual heat or the storms that come from them. look at the temperatures and the

heat warnings and watches that are out. chicagoland, 102, maybe 103 again today. louisville, 105. and speaking of chicago, our alex perez is there to talk about once more just how long this area has been in this kind of heat. good morning, alex. >> reporter: sam, good morning to you. yesterday was the fifth-hottest day recorded in chicago. we got to 103 degrees. the previous record was 102 degrees in 1911. if we make it to 100 degrees today, it would be the third-straight day in a row that we had triple-digit temperatures. officials are checking on the elderly and those who might need the most help. so far, there are two deaths that have been linked to the heat here in chicago. but the good news is, there is relief in sight for many parts of the midwest. the high by sunday should be in the mid-80s. amy? >> alex perez, thank you. let's turn to weekend

anchor, dan harris, for the other developing stories this morning. >> good morning to both of you. turns out our long run of dropping gas prices may be coming to an end. prices are moving the wrong direction, rising an average of 2 cents in the past day. it's the first time prices have gone up since april. aaa is blaming the recent increase in crude oil prices. also this morning, we're expecting big economics news. the release of the jobs numbers for the month of june. the may number, you may remember, were terrible. can we do better this time? bianna golodryga is covering the story. >> reporter: good morning to you, dan. the economy and jobs are the top issue on voters' mind. and we get the latest look at employment numbers in a little over an hour. analysts suspect the economy added 100,000 jobs last month. a pretty weak number and not enough to put a pent in the unemployment rate. we expect to hear from mitt romney, on vacation in

new hampshire, as well as the president, as he campaigns in two swing states, ohio and pennsylvania. no president has won an second term with a jobless rate over 7%. >> 100,000, if the prediction holds. the man accused of killing trayvon martin has been given another chance to leave jail. but this time, the bail for george zimmerman is a lot higher. 1 million bucks. that was the sign that he did not like the statements of less than than he had. a woman is being held on suspicion off child abuse after police say she put beer in her toddler's sippy cup. she was pouring beer in the cup because her 2-year-old was reaching for the pitcher. sounds reasonable. from the ridiculous, to the more ridiculous.

check out this chain reaction wreck in dallas. that van was instantly stopped on a highway ramp. that led to a five-car crash that left two people injured. there it is. >> whoa. an update on the florida lifeguard who saved a drowning man who was fired because he left his post to make the rescue. thomas lopez was offered his old job back. he said thank you, but no thank you. serena williams on her way in wimbledon, after serving 28 aces in yesterday's match. did i get the pronunciation right? >> yeah. >> i love that. i do have one final news note for you. reporting the news, as you may know, can be a dangerous job. exhibit a. >> grand rapids celebrating their new title, as deer city

usa, in an appropriate fashion today. and nicole, live from east town. >> local reporter, remaining very cool under pressure after this vicious attack by a neighborhood cat. nicole is now being treated for rabies. >> really? >> i'm making that up. >> it looked like a harmless cat. but a little scary there. her voice went up a couple octaves. we're going to move to the break in the case of the louisiana college student that went missing. mickey shunick went missing in may. they have arrested a former sex offe offender. bazi kanani is here. >> reporter: police are not revealing many detailsy et. but it appears the case is taking a sad turn for a family who hopes she would be found alive. a sex offender has been arrested and charged with murder.

overnight, police searched brandon le vergne's home. they charged the 33-year-old with first-degree murder and aggravated kidnapping in connection with shunick's disappearance. the 22-year-old college student was last seen on her bike around 2:00 in the morning on may 19th. >> my best friend. i just miss her. i want to know what's going on. >> reporter: overnight, police will not say how they connected lavergne to shunick's case. but they learned a silverado truck was registered to him. police released surveillance images of this white chevy pickup truck, seen on the same street, around the same time shunick was captured on her bike. a week later, fishermen found that bicycle 30 miles away, partially submerged in a river,

by this bridge on interstate 10. >> the bike, despite being in water, there is a potential of evidence from it. >> reporter: abc news has also learned lavergne is a registered sex offender in louisiana. records show he served eight years in prison. >> you can't charge somebody based on what they did in the past. you have to charge them with knowing what information and evidence you presently have. do they have a statement from him? do they have dna or fingerprint evidence that link him to mickey or to her bike? >> reporter: as 23450news of th arrest was announced thursday, residents who had been searching for shunick were crushed. shunick's family hired their own private investigator who came up with the suspect description. we will find out if lavergne was

that suspect. and more from police later on today. >> thanks, bazi. today, investigators hope to raise a yacht that capsized and sank off long island on the fourth of july. they're looking for more clues in the accident that killed three children. safety experts say the boat was overcrowded. and abc's john schriffen is here with the latest. this is such a sad story. >> reporter: it is a sad story and a holiday tragedy. we're hearing from one of the mothers who lost her daughter. she's speaking out on facebook saying, quote, three kids are gone for no fault but the weather and the walter. and this morning, we're looking at what happened immediately after the boat started to sink. >> where's my sister. >> reporter: the video shows a dramatic moment, immediately after the party boat began to sink. tossing most of its passengers overboard. as passengers screamed, nearby boaters desperately tried to pull people out of the water.

>> yo. get some people off the race boat on to the center console. now, guys. be smart. >> reporter: at one point, several passengers can be seen clinging to the side of the 34-foot yacht as it begins to go under. three children, 8, 11, and 12 years old, died when the boat capsized. they were later found inside the cabin. 24 people were eventually rescued from the water. this morning, police are still investigating what caused the massive boat to sink? >> the boat could have sunk for many reasons. it could be overcrowding. it could be a mechanical malfunction. >> reporter: the boat's operator says he saw lightning and then a rogue wave. >> two bolts. they were white. and it turned the boat around. >> reporter: richard has spent over 40 years boating on the water near oyster boy. he says large wakes can be formed when hundreds of boats can be leaving the area at the

same time. but he also believes too many people have been onboard. 27 people on a 34-foot boat. what does that say to you? >> that's overpopulated. >> reporter: again, investigators have not yet determined what caused the accident. they say they do not believe alcohol played a factor. but they have not ruled out charges against the operator and the owner. they plan to get back out on the water today and hopefully lift that boat out of the water and get some answers. we'll switch gears, now, to the mystery of the forbidden fruit. yes. when a tech-savvy office worker noticed that fruit was disappearing from his desk, he set up a web cam, trying to catch a thief. abc's david wright reveals what exactly was caught on camera. >> reporter: a video vigilante. taking revenge via web cam. angry that someone keeps

stealing fruit off his desk. >> they do look delicious. >> reporter: he catches the thief red-handed. cleaning lady, apparently helping herself late at night. our vigilante accuses the cleaning lady. then, keeps the cameras rolling to capture people's reactions. first, a co-worker. then, a janitor. finally, the alleged thief herself. the results, posted to youtube. a tidy little office whodunit. or not. hiding a camera in the office fridge will probably help you catch the person stealing your lunch. but be careful. you could end up in hot water, too. scroll down from the video and there's a debate over his tactics. some sympathetic. kudos to you for freaking her out. others are hostile.

i hope she sues the pants off you. the vigilante's story is similar to a break room bandit in a cop shot. but in that, the camera was set up in a sting. the thief, a local police officer, who was suspended for 30 days without pay. that didn't happen in this case. the guy didn't even report the cleaning lady. presumably, he figured youtube humiliation was punishment enough. for "good morning america," david wright, abc news, los angeles. >> no one's stealing your food, by the way. it's disgusting. >> oh. a little yogurt and cereal. >> it looksic can i. >> i have any eyes on you. we also have our eyes on sam champion. let's go back up to central park, where demi lovato is getting set to take center stage. >> we're going to talk about heat one more time today. we start stepping into the

temperatures in the east that made the heat wave. they haven't made the move yet. but they will today. watch this hot and humid air to make its way toward new york city. boston, 96 on saturday. philly, the triple-digit mark by saturday. washington, d.c., today is your start day. and then, yo uh get it tomorrow. sioux falls, green way, milwaukee, chicago. some of the storms will be a little bit. but when the storms break out in this kind of heat, you have to be concerned about how powerful the storms will be, as well.

>> bright sunshine out there now, 82 degrees at reagan national. yesterday we started off in the lower a possum jumped up to 100 degrees. it will be about the same today. 79 at dulles airport. it will feel like it is about 105 degrees. temperatures will be warmer tomorrow. it will cool by monday. >> we are live in central park to start off this summer weekend. by the way, josh, amy, if you thought last weekend's crowd was big, wait until you see what's waiting here for demi lovato today.

it's crazy big. >> cannot wait, sam. be there soon. look at that. tom cruise's kids. will they're experience with scientology play a role in the decision to divorce? [ whimpers ]

off. amy robach by my side. the divorce battle between katie holmes and tom cruise is heating up. surprise, surprise. did katie take a cue from tom's two older children and their relationship with scientology. also, the smash hit "fifty shades of grey," or so i'm told. you'll have to stick around to believe this story. and the shocking ad has a lot of parents up in arms. is under 15 too young for extreme grooming. i think you got that one, josh. >> yeah. i usually go too soon. too soon. we'll get there in moments. we're going to begin with that growing divorce fight between tom cruise and katie holmes. new details about tom's two older kids and their relationship with their faith may reveal a bit more to katie holmes' filing. dan is back with that. >> reporter: these are the

cruise children many of us have not heard much about. and some say these older children may provide a cautionary tale for katie holmes. while much of the media maelstrom from around the tomkat split, is around suri, tom has two older children who not much is known until now. conner, 17, and bella, 16. when cruise and kidman divorced, they had joint custody. although the kids opted to stay in l.a. with their dad, while their mom moved to australia. cruise, a scientologist, played conner and bella in the faith. >> they were homeschooled. and their homeschooling was really scientology-based. >> reporter: conner and tom were together when the news broke. >> conner is following in his

dad's footsteps. even as his dad is going through this, conner is by his side. >> reporter: while conner's parents don't allow him to grant interviews, he's very active on twitter. this shirtless picture started a few waves. and he's started a deejay career under the name steve squared. his budding acting career has included appearing along will smith in "seven pound." bella is more low-key. she's done apprentice work for katie holmes' fashion label. but an article in "the hollywood reporter" claims that bella was abruptly fired two months ago. perhaps as part of katie's detailed exit plan from the marriage. we know that bella has a boyfriend, a man named eddie frencher. >> she introduced him at her brother's birthday party earlier this year as her boyfriend. >> reporter: questions have been

raised how close they are with nicole kidman. my kids don't call my mommy. they don't even call me mom. marty rasman says the head of the church, david misdavidge. says they were using the religion to manipulate the children. >> it was towards scientology. towards tom and his influence. and become scientologists and away from nicole, who was clearly sour on the subject. >> reporter: overnight, scientology officials released a statement from tommy davis saying i've never spoken about isabella or connor about their mother and never would. and a spokesman from tom cruise called rathman's accusations as false. as for connor and bella's

relationship with katie holmes, it was reportedly very warm, at least up until the divorce filing. >> connor and bella were apparently very close to katie. she's talked about them in interviews. and there's even reports they were so close, they even called her mom sometimes. >> reporter: okay. so, we know from sources close to holmes, that her husband's devotion to scientology is one of the reasons she filed for divorce. it is possible, observers say, that holmes saw what happened to nicole kidman and her relationship to her children and she's making sure that doesn't happen to her and suri. here to talk about this, "people" magazine executive editor, j.d. hayman. so many issues here. connor and isabella, their relationship with katie. we heard it had been good until the point of filing itself. what happened here? >> clearly, they were all very close. i know that they did call her mom. they did have a warm family

relationship. and obviously, things have changed. we don't really know if they've had -- it seems as if they've had no contact with her since she's made the announcement. so, we'll have to see how that will play out. but it does, indeed, seem they haven't had much contact with her since it happened. >> they call her mom. a very sweet thing. but they have a mother in nicole kidman. what can you tell us about that relationship, which at least seems strained. >> i think people, in popular mind, thatay be true. they have joint custody. they are close to their father. they grew up in los angeles with their father. nicole kidman has seen her children over the years. relationships are complicated. and nicole kidman has spoken about that at length. they're trying to find their way to a family relationship. it's a divided family as all families do when they go through a divorce.

i'm not sure there's exact parallels, other than he's a famous person and been through two well-known divorces. >> maybe high-profile tea leaf reading. let's look at the relationship between tom and his daughter, suri. obviously, they were separated by an ocean and coast-to-coast, in the days since the filing. what do we know about that relationship now? >> we know tom has had regular contact with suri. they've spoken several times a day. we know they're in touch. we also believe from sources that bella and connor have not been in touch with katie. at the moment, we know that he's been allowed to talk to her. obviously, he loves his daughter. and she does, too. and i hope they both work that out. but he is in touch with her. >> again, question has continued, a matter of venue for the proceeding itself. is there any news to report at this point? >> not yet. they are trying to work that out. i assume that will be the main

bone of contention. katie holmes seems like living in new york. she's happy here when she's here. i would suspect there is a lot of discussion to be had about where that will take place. >> appreciate the time. >> thanks very much. let's get back up to central park, where the lovatics are out in force today, sam. >> i'm sorry, josh. i wasn't listening to anything you said because demi lovato just walked right by us and the crowd went crazy. good morning, everybody, from central park.

now, disturbing, new details in a shocking love triangle and murder-for-hire case. the former mistress of jeffrey stern, said he ma lip nated her so she would hire hitmen to try to kill his wife. abc's ryan owens sorts out all of the sordid details. >> reporter: no one disputes what michelle gaiser did. she confessed to hiring three

hitmen to kill her lover's wife and is serving 25 years for it. why se did it is a another matter. she always said that jeffrey stern was the mastermind of it all. but in these documents in the civil case stemming from the murder attempts, gaiser details just how controlling he allegedly was. gaiser's attorneys call stern a puppeteer. claiming, he wanted his wife dead. and michelle gaiser was the victim he could emotionally manipulate to carry out his plan. he reportedly made her dress up in his wife's underwear and explain to him how his wife would be killed to turn him on. stern's attorney described the mistress as a liar. >> you're convinced your client had an affair with the wrong woman. >> he had an affair with a woman who developed a fatal

time we ever had a viewer's choice of play -- not "play of the day." the news that goes pop. that's important. it's the first time. first, let's get to the morning's developing stories. for that, we go to dan. >> good morning, everybody. we're going to start with the severe storms in tennessee overnight. at least two are dead and a dozen are injured. a storm there toppled hundreds of trees. campers are stranded and rescuers are having trouble reach them right now. british police have seven people in custody. one, a former police employee. it brings to the total, 13 terror arrests in 2 days. the officials are convinced they're not linked to a threat in the olympics. a break in the case of mickey shunick. the police are holding a suspected sex offender for his

murder. she is the college student last seen two months ago, biking home from a friend's house late at night. scott peterson has filed an appeal in the death sentence for the murder of hisife, laci, and their unborn child. the former first lady nancy reagan was at the reagan library. it celebrates ties to her husband, ronald reagan, and disney. disney, by the way, is the parent company of abc news. finally, if a bacon cheeseburger is insufficiently artery-clogging for you, behold the american burger, introduced by a chain in southern california. it is 100% ground bacon patty. it's added a thick slice of bacon, cheddar cheese and bacon

dressing. there's a small extra charge if they have to pull out the defibrillator and use it on you. it's time to get to the news that goes pop. but we have a former "gma" anchor. why not bring her out? come on. come on. wait. here we go. >> you'll know, she is a future "gma" anchor. you're going to sit in with the news that goes pop. >> here we go. this is probably the scariest part of being a "gma" anchor. by the way, if there's one thing we all learned from madonna, is it really that life is a mystery? really? expressing herself on stage during her tour, the material girl opened her heart to cheering fans in a different way than usual. she almost teared up, if a version of "like a virgin"

almost like she was touched for the very first time. all eyes are on jennifer aniston in "pop news." is she getting hitched or isn't she? she just recently got back from a vacation with her boyfriend, justin theroux, she apparently turned down an offer. the couple is still doing well. they bought a mansion overlooking the pacific together for $21 million. i don't know. >> not a mansion? >> you see that relationship making? >> i don't know. >> do you think it's going to go wedding or no wedding? >> she's a future "gma" anchor. >> just ruined my career. now, the story you wanted to hear most because it's our viewers choice, by the way. taylor swift may be writing a

new love story. according to tmz, the country music star spent the fourth of july with -- you'll never guess who. 18-year-old patrick schwarzenegger, the son of arnold and maria shriver. they spent time with each other at the other half of the schwarzeneggers, the kennedys. are there sparks flying? there's no official word on whether or not they're dating. but you hear it first on the news that pops. by the way, you may know it's panda awareness week. we're doing everything we can to get the cute and cuddly pandas. i was challenged to dress up like a panda. the man who warms up our audience every day in the park. here is our panda costume. and to prove i have not failed. tom, would you hold this for me? >> oh, yes.

>> this is why i'm not wearing the costume, by the way. amy -- >> oh, no. >> what do you say? >> panda awareness week, ladies and gentlemen. >> i think you convinced her not to be a "gma" anchor. >> future late night host. >> exactly. >> thank you so much. hang in here. we're going to go live to our ginger zee. oh, ginger? >> look at this crowd. one of the more electric crowds we've seen. and they have the "gma" classes on. loving it. let's get into the weather forecast. here's what you need to know. the heat is on. places like memphis, detroit, seeing their hottest temperatures. the heat warnings and advisories are in place.

let's look at when is this all going to go away? 79 by the time we reach monday. things are looking up as they go down. does that make any sense? finally, i want you to look across the nation. portland, 86. seattle will be closer to 92 through the weekend. the noern plains, into the great lakes, some severe storms. right sunshine overhead again today and already some in fairfax, 81 degrees. 82 at reagan national and frederick. we are already on the lower 80's. backup near 100 today but it will feel like 105. a little hotter today and near 102 degrees. a slight chanc

sam, i've got to come down here and do this more often, panda hat or not. let's go back up to you. >> ginger, is the most fun ever when we come here in "gma." here's what's ahead on our morning menu. would you let your little girl -- i can't say this out loud, folks. it's a story i disagree with. it's the parenting controversy coming up. and women that want to live their real-life version of the "fifty shades of grey." and summer just got hotter. how? demi lovato in our "gma" concert. what's that? >> go nowhere. i read an article... well, i read the majority of an article online

about how older people are becoming more and more antisocial, so i was really aggressive with my parents about joining facebook. my parents are up to 19 friends now? so sad. ♪ i have 687 friends. this is living. what!? that is not a real puppy. that's too small to be a real puppy.

[ cheers and applause ] if you are not here in central park, you are in trouble. demi lovato, the summer concert series. in just moments. it is a phenomenal crowd here in central park. first, we're going to get to an ad that's sparked a lot of debate among the moms and dads at home. it's about a salon offering specific grooming to girls, young girls. and here's linsey davis with a story you kind of can't believe. >> reporter: josh, in a few

years, your little girl will say, daddy, can i get a waxing. they want to wear heels. they want to wear makeup. and more teens and tweens want to get waxed. eyebrows, and even bikini lines. some companies are encouraging it. but not without controversy. this ad may be trying to entice teens to have unwanted hair removed. >> to encourage it at such a young age is completely inappropriate. >> it turns my stomach. >> reporter: the controversy began after this 50% off promotion was running up and down the east coast. targeting teens to celebrate their independence this summer by getting waxed. it's not just this ad. it seems many teens and tweens are now prepping for summer camp by going bare. we went to unique wax salon in

new york city, the company behind the ad, and followed 12-year-old an ma in a, who came in for a bikini wax. >> how are you? >> i'm good. >> reporter: for her mom, carol, the procedure wasn't an easy sell. she was adamant. she is becoming a woman and very concerned about how she looks. it's important that i listen to her. >> reporter: but psycho therapist tiffany henry says things have changed. and the teen wax incident opens a new conversation between mothers and daughters. >> hair is growing where it never grew before. >> reporter: unique wax stands by its decision. >> the parents have to sign off on the child coming in to get

waxed. the parent has to have control. and every parent has to sign a consent form. >> reporter: some fear it could be over sexualizing teen girls. a case of too fast, too soon. >> i have a difficult time stomaching, when girls -- girls especially 15 years and younger, into a salon to be waxed. as for anna, we caught up with her post wax. pain-free? >> pretty much. >> reporter: she will be back with her friends. it's a confidence-booster. >> it's a really great feeling. >> reporter: unique wax gave us a statement overnight saying they're doing this to boost young girls' self-esteem. they say some girls are

embarrassed. and there's nothing about it as risque and not sexualized. >> i can think of a thousand ways to raise a teen's self-esteem. >> i feel the same way. another provocative trend now. "fifty shades of grey" author, e.l. james. now, hotels are trying to cash in. >> reporter: from the steamy blockbuster novel that millions are reading. talking about "fifty shades of grey." to the -- >> you don't have anything sharp i can stick myself with, do you? >> no. >> i do. >> reporter: women everywhere feel that the erotic heroine in

the book, are opening up their inner goddess. if you don't know where to put her, you may want to book a room at diva. they showed us their fifty shades of woman package. >> the light went off as i read the last page in bed. my god, i have all these beds and rooms. >> reporter: book for two, and you'll walk into rose pedals and candlelights. and receive a box in black satin, tied with a pink feather. what's inside? >> i can only tell you it's a box of joy. >> reporter: it's not surprise that foe kels are cashing in on anastasia measure. a trumer runs through my whole body. if someone had told me i'd be

doing this when i woke up in his hotel suite yesterday, i would not have believed them. the hotel featured in the trilogy. raising from 40 bucks to almost $2,800. these shot hotel deals seem to have hit a cooling. >> sex is something special that's supposed to happen between two people who love each other. >> or two people who love sex. >> god. you're such a -- >> a what? >> reporter: as people are realizing they would rather be samantha than charlotte, some say the so-called mommy porn is revealing -- >> then, they become a mom. what's happening now? mommies are going to the movie theater and getting their sexy on. >> you can watch. but you cannot touch.

but i see you we have a lot of lawbreakers. >> reporter: a word to the men out there, look out. this could be the start of an inner goddess revolution. gloria riviera, abc news, san francisco. on that note, let's send it back to the birthday boy who is on stage right now. josh? >> thank you. it's time to bring out our next guest, currently touring the country right now.

central park. >> there's so many of your fans here, young and old. i know, as the father of a young daughter, i'm so happy to talk to you because i find you not just terrific, but so inspirational. seriously. it's been more than a year since you left treatment. there were different ways you could have chosen to handle it. but you really took it head on and be that for other people to get out there and help the people like yourself. >> you know, to me, i don't think it does anybody any good to hide something or cover it up or lie or whatever. i think the reason why i did it, is -- it's not about being perfect. it's about speaking about your issues and inspiring others to get help. and i wanted to be sure i shared my story with people so that -- you know, i can either help her from going through the same things that i did. or help them get help.

>> the hear how busy you are, again. diagnosed with bipolar disorder. and you said it was a relief. why is that? >> i would stay up until 5:00 in the morning, just playing guitar. my parents would wake up for work. and i couldn't stop going for days on end. whatever. i have crazy mood swings. when i got diagnosed with that, it was like, cool. i'm not crazy. >> and you can focus. you have the tour. touring with hot shelle ray. are you getting away? >> everyone is getting along great. we're having fun. >> there's that little tv show. >> that thing called "x factor." >> yeah. how is it going? >> it's going so good.

for my first day and have any closest friends there. >> people want to know about the next album coming up. more r&b? more pop/rock? or a blend of the two? >> i say it's going to be like john mayer. it's fun creating new sounds. i don't know. we'll see. >> people are asking why aren't you tweeting so much or at least as much as you used to? >> i kind of vowed to myself that i don't want to take a lot of time out of my day spending it with technology. i don't really have a cell phone right now. haven't had a cell phone for three months or something crazy. >> are you ready to sing to them? >> i'm ready to sing. >> demi lovato next, everybody.
